Rajpura 29th November:- India has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with Infarsight, LLC (headquartered in Princeton, NJ,
USA) to introduce a transformative partnership model to the Indian education
system.
The University and Infarsight are pioneering a new
“University Delivery Model” that aims to establish a R&D and software
engineering center, (Infarsight-
Center of Innovation) in the University campus. This model is
designed to leverage the University’s intellectual capital of faculty and
students, to fulfil the industry needs of specialized talent graduating from
its various education programs. .
Today, many travel and retail customers outsource work
to large ITES providers like TCS, Cognizant, Wipro, and others, who house these
projects in their campuses, and then look at universities to source top
engineering talent. The University Delivery Model is designed to help
customers directly engage with University students and faculty members, while
an experienced delivery leadership team of Infarsight, assures industry quality
delivery to the customers. Sanjeev Sethi, the President of Infarsight, notes
that this model is a win-win for the Customers, University and its student
community. Customers contribute to the course curriculum, through industry
specific modules, and live projects, which help students, specialize and gain
real life experience. Customers thus drastically reduce training time required,
while students build project-relevant skill sets and resumes.
Dr. Archana Mantri, the Pro Vice Chancellor, Chitkara
University outlined that this collaboration is set to bring a sea change to
engineering education through Infarsight’s Centre of Innovation. Along
with seeding industry projects, through the ‘University Delivery Model’
the Centre of Innovation, works closely with us on incubating
meritorious ideas and concepts presented by students to help them take these
ideas to its customer and market in general. Chitkara University has already
built a formidable reputation in creating an innovation eco-system within the
University by weaving a fabric of engineering exploration courses, STEAM
school, NOVATE annual Hackathon, Start-up days, and establishing Incubation
Centres at Rajpura and Baddi.
The Infarsight and Chitkara partnership will go a long
way in supporting the “Make in India” movement in India.
